It’s time to get your spook on, Point Roberts!
Sheena Durflinger is once again coordinating a trick-or treat walking route and encouraging families who don’t live on the route and local organizations to get in on the fun.
“While this year the border is open for us to leave, I still already have 35 kids who have confirmed they will stay on the Point for the walk,” Durflinger said.
The October 31 walk will wind through the Shady Glen subdivision along Mill Road, Windsor Drive and James Road between Austin and Johnson and go up Johnson to Washington Drive and Kennedy Road. There will be three parking areas spread around the walk route and a welcome booth on the corner of Mill Road and Johnson Road.
“At the welcome booth, we will have treats and you can get your picture taken, pick up a map or hand in your coloring contest submission,” Durflinger said. Coloring pages can be picked up at the Point Roberts Marketplace after October 1.
There will be spots along the route for people to park and set up a trick-or-treating station. “We’re calling it trunk-or-treat and we want people to have fun with it!” Durflinger said. “Bring a fire pit, set up a tent and some decorations, hunker down for a few hours and hand out some treats.”
With 15 stop sign or street sign posts along the route, Durflinger said there is an opportunity for families and local organizations to help decorate. “I’d like to see local organizations get involved and sponsor them,” she said. “Deck them out in scary things and we will have a contest to choose the best one!”
While this year Durflinger is not organizing a driving route for trick-or-treating, she will be promoting other local Halloween efforts, including a haunted house on Boundary Bay Road, free sliders on Park Drive and a pumpkin carving contest at Auntie Pam’s Country Store on October 30. Stay on top of what’s going on through the Trick or Treat Point Roberts Facebook page.
